| Announcement of Childcare Costs for Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards (NRSA) Individual Fellows
In April 2021, NIH began providing childcare cost support to recipients of full-time NRSA fellowships in recognition that the high cost of childcare impacts graduate students and post-doctorates funded through NRSA fellowships, and hinders their ability to successfully complete their training and fully participate in the extramural research workforce (NOT-OD-21-074). As Phase 2 of this initiative, anticipated for awards made beginning in Fiscal Year 2022, NIH will begin providing childcare cost support to full-time predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees appointed on NRSA institutional research training awards. NOT-OD-21-177

| NIH Operates Under a Continuing Resolution
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including NIH operates under the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 117-43) signed by President Biden on September 30, 2021. This Act (CR) continues government operations through December 3, 2021 at the FY 2021 enacted level, with no reduction.

This ensures ample time to complete departmental requirements and also route to OSP for review, by their deadline. For reference, here is our Grants Submission Timeline which includes key milemarkers, OSP deadlines, and corresponding action-items.

| eRA Commons two-factor authentication
NIH is providing more time to make the transition to Login.gov. eRA will begin a phased approach for enforcing the two-factor authentication requirement for the recipient community (both scientific and administrative account holders). Scientific account holders should take action now, while administrative account holders will be required to move to two-factor authentication by early 2022.

| CoeusWeb For Final Submissions
OSP developed a tool within the CoeusWeb application to submit proposals directly to grants.gov. This is in addition to the traditional method using Coeus Premium. OSP created a short PDF guide including screenshots, of what the PI will see during the process. The grants team will continue to be available to support PIs during the final approval and submission.
